stargazersShe lives in a river of stars, intricately weaved into the eyes of Eden
it's just
the way his roses find beauty in her bramble-berry eyes
watching the sun sink into the ocean
together
waiting for the night sky

I will always remember him, eyes dancing, hiding her broken heart

Rainwater, hurricanes of lonely gray spilling onto the cloudy sidewalk. The stars are gone tonight.

Gray MasqueradeStriding through this gray, empty world,
I peer upon the hard faces of my peers.
False laughter rings in my ears,
Strained smiles depict something's amiss.
They all fit in,
Just a bit too much.
Robotic and stiff,
They are unidentifiable.
Caught up in the crowd and judgment,
They have lost their identity and their pride,
And their emotions are as flat and cold as those disguises they sport.
The world has come to this.
Even they don't know who they are any longer,
And everynight
Is like a masquerade ball.
I would rather die
Than live a lie.

living misslethis was once the center of things
a garrison of mustard seed and sedulous
one-armed scissors

but now summarily surrendered
to the direction of those bred to push buttons
like Theseus throwing

himself to the Aegean

smuggling the tender metal-armed children
who will untie our knots and

there is quite a strange
thing doing quite strange things
somewhere entrained by the eyes paregoric
a spate of pro-
biotic indifference

and there are some beasts
you can't catch with tackle and bait
ones you must lure
with more orwellian versions of the truth
and those are the ones to keep
locked in small skeleton closets
to smother with pillows and bury

in the basement on christmas eve

in vitro meatsloth;
sill diffusing the bombs

the crime sorcier of hyper-
sexual plants

this air is so dirty
the sophists are sweating

while eating their supper, while
scratching their slogans

and the future assured
on the whim of synthetics

Christ in every crowd,

weighing indifference in magnitudes

a cursed knot of limbs
left to limp in the wind

and pronate before the presage

as we clutch
at the spilled splays of light through its fingers
doped-up delinquents, small
puddles relinquished

incomplete at the feet of false gods

into the back
of the ambulance,

you thank God
that something
is happening at last.

we were proclaimed as the founders of feasts
not the same decaudate dogs
bred by the public domain

everyone is fostering some Fabian ideas
the rabbits on the run

while the drawbridge holds
your doppelganger and its pavonine

scandalous strokes to the slow strobe of thunder

A Grand TryThis is really a simple story,
of a girl who lost her self.
Not among the trees, or the waters,
but in the very heartbeat of her.
She let circumstance and life get in the way,
and allowed others to shape her and mold her.
Forgetting what she enjoyed, valued, and felt for.
slowly shrinking behind the doors.
So is it really a huge surprise to any,
when the girl decided she didn't want to fumble through anymore?
She knew she was needed, but alas she felt abandon,
by those who promised "forever and ever more."
You see she lost all those who were dear,
to an illness no one really understood.
She was happy though, in her own little world,

spoken up and out of turn

voices defrayed -
an echoing echolalia ether

and conscripts begone!
restored to disequilibrium

but the big voices in the sky won't give him

any space to fill

Gas Chambershe had an addiction to love and cocaine
she liked the rush into her head and through her veins
she was itching bad and sinking low
she was all dolled up, are you ready to blow?

her rose garden started smelling
her sad stories more distorted and less compelling
no one cared about the shit she was wearing or selling

any whore of the day took her place
in every way she was left to waste
in desperation she tried to save face
but she couldn't be certain of anything
do you really believe it was me, are you perceiving correctly?
I highly doubt that you know me, have you lost your sanity?

she sat dazed under a gas light
she must have been out of

Blank PagesMy minds in a state of stasis, on an empty stage I'm faceless
My bulbs in need of replacement, and I don't think I can take this.
The imagination is an oasis, it helps me swim to higher places.
Each day passes by like ages, as I slave away for wages
Open heart in broken cages, my only friends are blank pages.

-Jeramie James

You Took Something From MeI used to remember what was hidden in the moon
The light of a billion beautiful rays still shading in the looms
Now a broken soul, an apparatus to destruction, a tool
A word, a phrase, a paragraph or two
A day doesn't pass without me waking up in pain
To see your repugnant fucking face over me again
The terrors never cease and sometimes I desire
To be deceased, to baptise myself in fire
To leave this earth because my sanctity was violated
And I was young, how could you use this in advantage?
I can't even manage to describe my hate
You pushed the envelope, and I thought I was to blame
But it isn't that way now that I've realized
That I lied to

Almost LoverI always made you promise to come back because I always knew you'd leave. The truth is, you're about 14 miles away from my house, and you're gone. The last time I saw you was June 2nd, and it's almost been two months.
You stopped talking to me long before that.

I wished that he wouldn't come back- he'd stay in some far off fantasy land, and I could excuse his tactlessness because of distance.
I don't get to have that indulgence when he's home. I know he's there, I'm here, and even if I were to look him in the eyes, he'd still be far, far away.
You can call him Christopher. Christopher was the boy everyone in school swooned over; he was t

ExcerptYour use of the word "love" has become so hollow that the other letters are forced into the vortex of the O, leaving a simple, "oh." "Oh" means nothing.

The KidnapperI had spread out on the fold out bed in quite the characteristic way. My head rested on pillows at the foot, my feet propped up on the rising back of the couch. There was the sound of pages flipping. One page, two pages, three pages, fifty pages. And there was a tiny drone coming from the TV.
I would have gladly turned the TV off, had I not been so nervous about it. Once it was off, the room filled with this ominous quiet, this thought that everything from that point would cease. As long as the pictures were moving, the stories were progressing, and sound came through at a low volume, I was all right. That was all I needed for reassurance.

Evolution +2"I had a dream, Dr. Jones." Kay laid back casually on the couch.
"I've told you it's all right if you call me Peter, or Pete. It helps create a bond." The therapist looked into her sharp green eyes, puzzled.
"I don't know enough about who you are to call you anything but Mr. Jones." Kay said this calmly, her eyes skipping between her doctor and the cieling.
"Peter. Please." The therapist was determined to get through to his patient.
Silence stretched through the next couple minutes.
"What was your deam about, Kay?" he asked, exasperated at her oddities.
"Oh," she stretched this syllable and her legs at the same time. She rose. "I was i

Evolutions +1"It's worse when you're sober," the girl said, twisting her long sleeves in her fingers.
"And why's that?" her therapist asked with his usual inquisitive nature.
"Well, it's real. The thunder outside - it's real. The man at the door, he's real. The blood you spill on the floor - that's real, too. I can't tell myself it's a dream. It's not a delusion. It's real. You don't come down from reality."
"You could find a way to deal with reality," the therapist said calmly. He genuinely wanted to help, although he knew nothing about how.
"I think the best I could do would be to completely detatch myself from reality."
"Kay," the therapist warne

We Don't Need No Education

Teacher, teacher-
It's time for my timeout.
I'll wear the duncehat in the corner,
I really won't talk about feelings anymore.

I told you so-
I can't do this for so long.
I'll sit on the stool facing the wall.
I'll think until my head becomes pretty sore.

Yes, go ahead-
I hate this fucked up room.
Send me to the back of the class,
And I promise I won't fuck up anymore.

Teacher, teacher-
I just said a bad word.
So won't you please punish me?
Let me sit in the corner until my ass is sore.

Fucking teacher-
If you don't, I'll simply leave class.
The door's right there, I know where it is.
I just don't want to talk about my fucking feelings anymore.

I don't like the situation I'm in, as you can probably see.

"I'll think until my head becomes pretty sore" - I had this random thought of it saying "my head becomes swollen and sore." The '

retty' throws me off.

"Yes, go ahead-
I hate this fucked up room.
Send me to the back of the class,
And I promise I won't fuck up anymore." - I adore this stanza.

~007-madison-at-sea Oct 13, 2007

Awh, thank you. I like swollen and sore much better.

~007-BloodyAlaizabel Oct 13, 2007

As do I. I"m glad you like it.

~007-LoneHeartstring Oct 1, 2007 Writer

I don't know if you meant to write it that way, but I see it as a timeline. It seems that as the work continues, the speaker ages, becoming more and more... fed up. I hope your situation changes.

~007-madison-at-sea Oct 2, 2007

I hadn't thought of it that way. I like it. x))
